No issues related to this sign variance.
B. Staff Analysis:
Mexico Chiquito Mex -to -Go, a small drive-through restaurant
is located on the C-3 zoned property at 11406 West Markham
Street. The building is part of a large, multiple building
shopping center. The building is located fairly near
Markham Street and is hidden to some degree from traffic by
the landscaping along the street. The building is very
narrow and, as such, there is a small window of opportunity
to look directly at the site from Markham Street. To help
identify the site, the applicant has placed lettering on
awnings mounted on the east and west sides of the building.
The awning signs do not conform to code in that the signs do
not directly face the required street frontage.

Item No.: 17 (Cont.)
Staff is supportive of the requested variance. The building
is part of a larger shopping center and the signs are also
visible from the driveways, parking lots and other buildings
within the larger development. The lettering on each awning
is a total of 18 inches in height and 6 feet long. The
awnings are 3 feet by 23 feet in size on each side of the
building. Allowing the signs should not impact adjacent
properties.
C. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the variance to allow the two
awning signs without direct street frontage.
